• Abstract: Strongly interacting quantum systems described by non-stoquastic Hamiltonians exhibit rich low-temperature physics. Yet, their study poses a formidable challenge, even for state-of-the-art numerical techniques. Here, we investigate systematically the performance of a class of universal variational wave-functions based on artificial neural networks, by considering the frustrated spin-$1/2$ $J_1-J_2$ Heisenberg model on the square lattice. Focusing on neural network architectures without physics-informed input, we argue in favor of using an ansatz consisting of two decoupled real-valued networks, one for the amplitude and the other for the phase of the variational wavefunction. By introducing concrete mitigation strategies against inherent numerical instabilities in the stochastic reconfiguration algorithm we obtain a variational energy comparable to that reported recently with neural networks that incorporate knowledge about the physical system. Through a detailed analysis of the individual components of the algorithm, we conclude that the rugged nature of the energy landscape constitutes the major obstacle in finding a satisfactory approximation to the ground state wavefunction, and prevents learning the correct sign structure. In particular, we show that in the present setup the neural network expressivity and Monte Carlo sampling are not primary limiting factors.

  Quantum many-body problems are central to demystifying some exotic quantum phenomena, e.g., high-temperature superconductors. The combination of neural networks (NN) for representing quantum states, and the Variational Monte Carlo (VMC) algorithm, has been shown to be a promising method for solving such problems. We propose a NN architecture called Vector-Quantized Neural Quantum States (VQ-NQS) that utilizes vector-quantization techniques to leverage redundancies in the local-energy calculations of the VMC algorithm.
